Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, were given a signed photo of Saddam Hussein by US marines after the former Iraqi leader was shown their movie in prison.
During his captivity, US marines forced Saddam, who was executed in 2006, to repeatedly watch the move South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut, which shows him as gay, as well as the boyfriend of Satan. He was also regularly depicted in a similar manner during the TV series.
The admission comes with the show's 13th season already running in the US. It will celebrate its 12th anniversary later this year.
The show, which satirises a wide range of topics, including religion, sexuality and mental illness, has won a number of awards including three Emmys for Outstanding Animated Programme.
Recent episodes have seen Barack Obama using his Presidential victory as a way to steal jewels from Washington in an Oceans 11-style heist.

Poor Saddam
That is cool.
Just think - if they hadn’t hung Saddam, he and Satan could now be a happily married couple in the state of Vermont...
The conservative creator of 24’ also gave the South park duo a mock time bomb and there were pics on their website about their staff running around with it.
While this isn’t quite being shoved feet first into a woodchipper, I’m loving this a little bit.
"Over and over again – which is a pretty funny thought.
What? And 0dumbass didn't grovel and apologize for this bit of American style torture and arrogance while in Iraq on his recent photo-op.
I'm sure Comrade 0bama can find something from this story to use in one of his anti-American bashes while overseas.
When will the Dems start holding hearings on the abuse poor Saddam had to undergo.
That was one of the "suitcase nuke" props that figured prominently in a previous season of '24'.
South Park did a very funny parody of '24', which inspired the gift. I can't say much more about the episode (which prominently featured Hillary Clinton ) without getting banned.
I'll simply point to the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snuke.
That’s too funny.
this is pretty frickin’ funny!
